old article about Hedley's obsession with tweeting. Old but good.

Trudeau says that Hedley has some "pretty tough competition" from real journalists who use Twitter. ... "Writing this stuff is a new kind of challenge. ... I'm used to writing in a kind of economical form, but this is like comedy haiku," says Trudeau. "You drop some words into that little box, and you edit and re-edit and re-edit, and the idea, of course, is to create the impression that it is completely unedited."
